Note: Cimex
pedestris Poda, 1761 is a nomen dubium, but its
description would fit Coranus subapterus: "Cimex
oblongo ovatus apterus thorace obtuse spinoso
abdomine supra tuberculis sex. Elytra abdomine
triplo breviore. Latera abdominis albo
maculata". I therefore provisionally place it
here in the synonymy of the present species.
Note: Wolff
(1811) describes Reduvius pedestris as a
new species and does not cite Poda
(1761). It is not clear whether Wolff was
nevertheless inspired by Poda, but omitted a
citation.
